How we loved the foods of August. On hot August days at the cottage on Dalhousie Lake, the Bell girls ate a lot of peaches and corn on the cob. Weekly trips to Perth always included a stop on the side of the highway to buy freshly picked corn on the cob. Straight from the pot and smothered with butter and salt, the taste was fresh and mouth watering. Baskets of peaches, likely transported from Niagara, would not make it back to the cottage. The Bell girls thought nothing of each eating two or three peaches on the car ride home.
I wonder if we realized that such delicacies meant that fall was approaching and school was going to begin?
